"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;" John 10:27 (NAS)
Feel like you just can't hear from God? Want to do something important, and you're praying about what He would have you do, and it seems like He's not getting back to you?
Time for a gut check. Or maybe we should call it a heart check. You're waiting for a major assignment, but how about the minor ones? You'll make a large charity donation, but
will you pay your bills on time and set aside money to provide for your
household in an emergency? You're prepared to share the gospel on the street, but do you act like Jesus to the drive through employee when your order is messed up? You're willing to travel and take time off work for a mission trip, but are you willing to stop at the grocery store for your family? Every week, year after year, whether anyone thanks you or not?
"His
master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were
faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things;
enter into the joy of your master.'" Matthew 25:23 (NAS)
When you've sincerely asked for a revelation of what you might be missing and you're still not hearing any special directions, keep plugging away at everyday life with a positive attitude, because you're laying your foundation for the next step. And keep listening so you'll hear Him when He gives you the next step.
